Overview Sustainable Materials Selection & Specification:
EZER Sustainable Design Consulting helps clients select and specify healthy and sustainable building materials that minimize environmental impact and enhance occupant well-being. Selecting and specifying sustainable materials, we help clients create healthier, more sustainable, and more resilient buildings while minimizing their environmental footprint.We prioritize:
• Prioritizing human health: Identifying and mitigating the use of harmful chemicals, toxins, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through the selection of materials with low or no emissions.
• Embracing sustainable sourcing: Promoting the use of locally sourced materials, recycled content, and rapidly renewable resources to minimize environmental impact and support local economies.
• Reducing embodied carbon: Specifying building materials with low embodied carbon and embodied energy, such as timber from sustainably managed forests and recycled steel.
• Advancing circular economy principles: Advocating for the use of materials with high recycled content and prioritizing materials that can be easily reused, recycled, or repurposed at the end of their service life.
